Don't ask me, I'm just trying to get _some_ debugging for this in. I
don't care one bit how much overhead it has because in our CI our
debug build has lockdep and everything and it crawls anyway. I started
out with the preempt_disable/enable thing like you suggested, and a
few rounds later we're here. We can go back to v1 on this one, but I'd
prefer to not do the lap too often.

Also, aside from this patch (which is prep for the next) and some
simple reordering conflicts they're all independent. So if there's no
way to paint this bikeshed here (technicolor perhaps?) then I'd like
to get at least the others considered.
